| stimulus |
(S)-- an environmental event or action that incites, provokes or quickens action. Generally, a stimulus occurs before a response, and sets the occasion for, evokes, or causes an operant response to follow. With respondent behaviour, a stimulus elicits the response. From the Latin meaning "a goad" (a goad was a stick with a pointed end that the ancient Romans used for driving cattle). A component of the Does Equation, a stimulus is functionally related to a movement cycle.
